That night it was at the Cobram colonial motel restaurant for dinner with the VPA AGM just before the meal. A great night was enjoyed by all.
The next morning some got up a little over-hung and made their way slowly to the field!!! The day went smoothly with presentation at 3:30pm and everyone on their way at 4:00pm. Full results in pdf can be seen at www.vicpattern.org.au Next one for us is at Albury hope to see you there!!!
The Electric den! Chargers and a portable oven makes the packs warm for best performance. Electric is looking very promising with the cost of conversion.
Will Crossman's YS all in bits after a bearing failiure when he was turning it over. Amazingly, he got it running and flew 4 flights on the Sunday.
The Cobram flying field-Awesome!
The Lilydale flying club that turned up to compete. An amazing effort.
Not such a brilliant ending...
That has'nt gone all that well!
Not to much flying happening here!
